I'm done with all the games you play
I just want you to act your age
Now it's clear to me that you'll stay the same
With everything we've been through I never thought I'd walk away
I won't look back
My problems were never your problem
So was it selfish of me to think
That I'd succeed without you sinking your teeth so deep
Another place, another time and I might be free
Can I escape your hold
Look straight into my eyes
Are they faint, are they bold
Do they share all the pain
This whole world took a toll
You would know
Oh I hope you know
Every time I decide to move forward
This over thinking hinders all my progress
I don't mean to be so involved with you
Here's a promise I'll tie my hands to
My problems were never your problem
So was it selfish of me to think
That I'd succeed without you sinking your teeth so deep
Another place, another time and I might be free
Can I escape your hold
Look straight into my eyes
Are they faint, are they bold
Do they share all the pain
This whole world took a toll
You would know
How to clear my head
If I let this go, I'm left alone again

Sincere

Maybe if I yelled then you might listen
Would that be a better way to get your full attention
And if you'd ever let me get a parting word in
Then I might be able (to say what I need to)
Forever have a better grip on this
But honestly I've given myself up for full disclosure
That was never quite enough for you to see
How I sincerely meant everything
Were you ever sincere with me
I've been biting my tongue
(and now we've both had enough)
I wish you'd just grow up
If I can find a way to bridge the space we made I would
But I can't and I'm done
When you threw me away did that mean anything
At the end of the day were you absent for your sake
Don't hold your breath
You break, I mend
And now we're at this again
When will this fucking end
I know I don't see you so often
My hope is that can change somehow
But honestly I've given myself up for full disclosure
That was never quite enough for you to see
How so sincerely I'm speaking
You were never sincere with me

Next to Nothing

If you never saw my face again would you mind it
(You wouldn't mind it)
I don't know why you took the time to remind me
How you regret ever crossing my way
I'll take the blame if you keep your eyes closed
Sneak away, don't watch me go
It'd be a stretch (to stay at rest)
Moving on is for the best and you know that
I can't keep ending up on your floor (anymore)
You took the freeway home
I took the back roads
And I know you wouldn't care if I just let go
This gets old, you're kicking in my head
Now I'm left with the last thing you said
And I still don't get what you meant
I can't keep ending up on your floor (anymore)
You took the freeway home I took the back roads
You still mean so much to me
You are everything I need x2

Lessons Learned

Take me out of your doorway
And put me some place where I can stand up straight
I watched the time fly by
You left without saying a word
Don't expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned
I'm counting all the streets I have no urge to visit
Don't bother glancing at me
You know it won't be worth it
I'm on the edge with everything
You've said what you've had to say
So keep your distance
We'll go our own ways
Pretend I never heard a single word you said behind my back
I've let it pass
There's a dying place for you buried in my chest
Please do your best to never take my breath again
I watched the time fly by
You left without saying a word
Don't expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned
I'm counting all the streets I have no urge to visit
Don't bother glancing at me
You know it won't be worth it
I'm barely, barely believing that you're leaving
I spent all my time
Daydreaming that there was something
When there was nothing, nothing at all
I watched the time fly by
You left without saying a word
Don't expect to get much back from the lessons I have learned
I'm counting all the streets I have no urge to visit
Don't bother glancing at me

Wayward

Stay away from me
'Cause your nothing more than a pain in my chest
You're absolutely fucking careless
And all I want is for you to disappear for good
Now you've up and left
You think running away will get you somewhere
But truth is you won't get much farther
Than a legal name and a shitty boyfriend to mask all of your pain
I can't keep running you through my head
I've wasted more time than I'd ever get
If I had never even met you
All that I want is to forget you (forget you)
It's been a long two years
And at first I thought that things were great
But now there's nothing more I hate than
Sitting here wondering what went wrong
How could you just shut me out?
Like I was never even there
I can't keep running you through my head
I've wasted more time than I'd ever get
If I had never even met you
All that I wants to forget you

A Few Choice Words

You're pushing me aside
And it feels like
Like I am nothing
Like I was never anything
Well is it true
Am I just a waste of space and time for you
I hope I'm not
And I hope you mean it
Because i know deep down you felt it too
